what a sweetheart

He's super chill. Before I picked him up, I made him a bed out of an old t-shirt and a shoe box. My wife was offended by this and insisted on buying him a stuffed fleece bed. He refuses to get in the fleece bed and is sleeping in the shoebox.

Oh, this guy is in trouble if this game implodes and the media turns on it. Because if you think Derek is loud now, just wait until he's proven right and has a platform.

Sorry if that's slightly insulting Derek, but I know I can count on you.

youd think they would have the sense to be angry about their money, and where it went, and whether they were receiving a product for it

they definitely are - but because they don't want to admit that they made a huge, costly mistake, it's a lot easier to get mad at derek

emotional confusion abounds in SC backers

Holy poo poo what does their qa department even do then? Do they have a qa department? An example of real QA I had to recreate an issue where a db listener just decided to gently caress off and stop responding. It only happened with 10k+ cps. You can bet I wrote up a test case to recreate it outside of production to debug and fix it :psypop:

Once they all turn in their Arena Commander QA documents and they iron out all the bugs, it'll all be worth it when they're rewarded with their epic single-player Squadron-42 experience, starring Sandi Gardiner as their immortal wingman who will never shut up, and never not have her face on your screen, the entire time you play. Enjoy space hell!

No, it's all Chris's fault. Every bit of it. It's his program, his dream, his vision, his failure. He's the face of this monstrosity and I sincerely hope that his failures hound him for the rest of his life. Everything else, from Ben's incredible incompetence to Sandi's predatory marketing "genius", stems from him and his constant inability to deliver. The man does not care. Even now, with his community royally pissed off because he was dumb enough to admit how little he gives a poo poo about them, he's sitting in his reality distortion field assuming everything is fine. It's the Hitler bunker video all over again. I spent years contributing in an honest and earnest manner, providing thoughtful feedback on everything from the toxicity of the community to level design of ships. None of it matters because Chris Roberts is a fraud, a self-entitled embarrassment of a human being who surrounds himself with sycophants and culls anyone who dares question his nonexistent talents. He took the greatest opportunity ever given to a game developer, a blank check to build the game of his dreams, and squandered it. He has ruined lives, tarnished careers, uprooted families, wasted millions, and years later hasn't learned a single loving thing. I hope he spends the rest of his life as a punch line.

Quoting from 20 pages ago because :drat:

I agree that Chris is the epicenter of failure but everyone in the inner circle with equity in this farce should be held accountable for failure to deliver

I am the 12 second section of the 16+ minute MVP video where Froogle "compliments" the yaw rate over that of Elite Dangerous and says how realistic the physics are with g-effects causing pilot-only blackouts (because a 30th century space vessel with artificial gravity has no means to counteract inertia for the person flying it).

gently caress you CIG, that's low.

In a staggering twist of idiocy CIG have just said G forces won't affect anyone but the pilot, so we are a situation where a pilot could be fainting from GFOOOORCE and you could be stood at the side of him giving it 'LOL@U' totally unaffected

I had literally never heard of this game at all until, I think, last month. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen - I literally can't comprehend donating tens of thousands of dollars for a ship that they just want to simulate the mundane. It breaks my brain every time I try to make sense of it.

Put in SC thread terms, I think FD's MWO work looks better in a garage (and a lot of it is PGI's art direction because you'll see him crank out sketches that look more imaginative than what actually goes into the game), but I think Plog's designs are better for building a universe around.

Agreed, and a lot of it does come down to PGI's art direction. FD had a bunch of different concepts up for the Marauder a while ago, and they chose basically the lamest one. I definitely think the work he's done for PGI is probably the best to use in an actual game, but Matt's art is freaking gorgeous.

It's mostly the Vohwinkel era stuff that looks goofy as gently caress.

When I was in your position I went over to the official forums and read some threads about what ship people are getting next or whatever and it just fried my mind, go try it!

Whenever I need a laugh I remember the guy who was literally on death's door and pinning all of his hopes at a few final years of joy on Croberts delivering this game.

And then his friend asking if that guy died before release would he be able to have his ships transferred to his own account.
